Mkava's Ramblings

Got a new apartment. Signed the lease and gave the deposit today. Free to move in any time, free until end of month. New place has a pool too.
Moving in a few days, due to free. More to come once moved and have Midco for Internet.
We (D, S, and myself) can get TV service later. Internet means Netflix and IRC. Thus.. keep our sanity. Anywho, more to come.. once things unfold.

As seen on Slashdot, Chile First To Approve Net Neutrality Law

Neat. <3

Still on the search for a (new) place to live. I halfway hide the word new for the reason that I might be halfway-forced into finding an apartment with the same management company for the upcoming year, and they’re nicer apartments are where I am now. Not exactly what I want to do, but I can make it work if I must.

Had to post this after seeing it on Slashdot on this article: Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram.

So last night I got to do something nerdy for no good reason. Like all nerdy things, it either ended in tears, humiliation, great success, and/or exhaustion many… many hours later. Luckily, my urge last night ended up with the second two and hopefully never the first two. What I made last night was a fake Linux Terminal website.

A screengrab of the website at the time of this post. You can see the timestamp in the image as well! Neat. (If this looks fuzzy or whatnot, click to see the full-size image.)

As you can see above, it’s a pretty simple little site at current. It doesn’t do much other than look like a terminal (from a fictional SSH login) and provide some links. Well, besides make people who hate the <blink> tag cringe. >:) Written entirely in PHP and utilizes only basic OO and PHP concepts, it’s small and quick to generate every time. Plus since it doesn’t actually take any input from the user, it’s reallllly small.

Any comments are always appreciated. Catch me on IRC (NFNet) under the handle Mkava or leave a comment here. The source is linked as well.

Oh, and you can find it at home.mattkava.com, for the time being. It may randomly disappear.. as this is a playground website for me to try things out in.
